2016 Subaru Outback VS 2016 Honda CR-V: Design
When you compare the design of the 2016 Subaru Outback and the 2016 Honda CR-V, there are several reasons the 2016 Subaru Outback is more naturally suited for adventure than the Honda CR-V. One reason you'll want the Outback is its stature--the Subaru Outback comes standard with 2.2 inches more ground clearance than the Honda CR-V as well as a larger base wheels. When you have gear to lug, you'll appreciate the standard roof rails with fold-away crossbars that come standard on every 2016 Subaru Outback (roof rails are an additional cost on the Honda CR-V) and the superior maximum cargo capacity (73.3 cubic feet vs 70.9 cubic feet). Any way you look at it, the Subaru Outback looks like it was designed for Colorado.

2016 Subaru Outback VS 2016 Honda CR-V: Performance
For a vehicle that won't let you down even when the weather does, look no further than the 2016 Subaru Outback. Unlike the 2016 Honda CR-V, the 2016 Subaru Outback comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. While other all-wheel drive systems consist of additional components tacked on to an existing front-wheel drive system (see the Honda CR-V), the Subaru All-Wheel Drive is an engineering marvel that remains a part of every Subaru Outback right from the very start. Though the Honda CR-V offers just one engine option, the Subaru Outback is available with either a four-cylinder Boxer engine or a 256 horsepower six-cylinder Boxer engine. Make your way to Mike Shaw Subaru to take a spin in the new 2016 Subaru Outback.

2016 Subaru Outback VS 2016 Honda CR-V: Safety and Features
Both the 2016 Subaru Outback and the 2016 Honda CR-V offer similar safety equipment and features but we think you'll find the Subaru Outback is more Colorado ready. For example, the Subaru Outback Premium trim comes with heated seats and mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, which are perfect features for getting you through Colorado's unpredictable seasons. Where safety is concerned, both models earned the highest rating of five stars overall in NHTSA crash testing but it's much easier to avoid a collision altogether with the control of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and available EyeSight technology in a new 2016 Subaru Outback.
